Beşiktaş Commercial Kitchen Drain Clearing
The question we hear most often about commercial kitchen drain clearing in Beşiktaş is why the water in the sink is not draining and whether you can fix it yourself. The answer depends on where the slowdown starts: a blockage in a single trap and grease building up in the main line give very similar signs. That is why the right order is to find the cause first, then clear the drain.
In Beşiktaş, kitchen drains and the lines of older buildings often sit behind this problem together. On the steep streets of Ortaköy and Bebek, or in restaurants around the market district, grease and food waste build up in a short time. At Cantley, we first come to your kitchen and talk with you about which drain and which line are affected. Then we clear the strainer and traps, and check the grease trap and the main line with a camera as we go.
Beşiktaş's old lines and busy kitchens
Along the Bosphorus shore, stone and timber buildings more than a century old stand side by side with modern business centres. In these older buildings, mixed materials added later to cast and clay pipes, differences in pipe diameter and sharp bends are the points where blockages most often begin. In buildings close to the shore the line runs almost level, so solids linger along the way, while on slopes the load from the upper floors settles on the connections below.
Restaurants around the market district and office kitchens in Etiler and Levent are used heavily, so their drains narrow quickly. Since a large vehicle often cannot get into the narrow streets, we carry on the work with portable machines. In Bebek, the sink in an elderly couple's flat had been draining slowly for some time, while in a small workshop in the same district the grease trap had filled up. In both cases the work starts with the cause being shared with you.
Frequently asked questions
If a kitchen sink drains slowly in Beşiktaş, do I need to call for drain unclogging straight away?
If only one sink has slowed down, cleaning the trap and strainer is often enough at first. If several drains start emptying slowly on the same day, the problem is in the shared line, especially at the grease trap outlet. In that case, waiting makes the blockage worse.
Is using a chemical drain opener in the kitchen a good solution?
No. A chemical drain opener may dissolve only part of the grease and often cannot break down the solid layer in the main line. In a closed kitchen, splashed or evaporating product can irritate the eyes and airways, and it can also damage the pipe material. Cleaning the strainer basket and the trap by hand instead is less risky.
How often should the grease trap in a restaurant be emptied?
Rather than tying the grease trap to a fixed calendar, it should be emptied according to how busy the kitchen is. Once the grease layer on the surface thickens and the sediment at the bottom starts to rise, the trap can no longer do its job. For businesses in Beşiktaş, we set this interval together with you by looking at the camera image of the line.
